Gigabyte RTX Eagle 8gb 3060 Fan Noise

[Belaris]

Hi all,
I bought the above card for my son and lately there has been a loud fan noise at full fan speed - I tried using Afterburner to set a custom fan curve but it seems that this is being overridden by the Nvidia performance app as the fan speeds go over what i have set in Afterburner.

Can the Nvidia app override Afterburner and what should i do.

I set the fan curve in Afterburner to start at 20% at start and 80% at full. My sons tower is a micro ATX tower, would getting a bigger tower possible help?

Thanks in advance

Hi yep its definately the GPU fan - it seems to be a vibration noise from the fan shroud because if i hold the shroud and gently hold it the noise goes away

Thank you will try that - additionally there is a wifi card that sits below the card that is very close as it was the only place i could put it due to the only available pci-e slot, would that have an effect?
